Preheat your oven to 450 °F (232 °C) with the top rack in place. Butter your slices of bread on 1 side.

The introduction of the speech should be interesting and engage the audience. Some strategies you can use are: beginning with a rhetorical question, a quote, or a short anecdote. Any strategy is fine as long as it relates to being thankful and graduating. Try to keep this to 2-5 sentences (or 2 paragraphs for a speech longer than 5 minutes). A few examples are:  “What are you thankful for?” This is beginning with a rhetorical question, since the audience will not answer. As Willie Nelson once said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." This is beginning with a quote. “It was the first day of high school, and I stood outside the door of my first class, scared to go in. On the last day of high school, I left that same door feeling thankful.” This is beginning with an anecdote. This is where you get to thank your friends, family, teachers, and so on in depth. Look at your brainstorming notes, and write 1-2 paragraphs where you say who you want to thank and why in complete sentences. (2-3 for a speech longer than 5 minutes). Don’t spend more than 2-3 sentences talking about a single person unless you really want to emphasize being thankful towards them.  For example, you can say, “I would like to thank my friends and family for always inspiring me when I felt hopeless.” Another example is, “I want to thank Professor Z for helping me choose a major.” The body of the speech comes immediately after the introduction. Avoid insulting or offending those you are speaking to. Do not vent about problems or criticize others during this speech. Write 1-2 sentences (1 paragraph for a speech that is longer than 5 minutes) that summarize everything you just said. Make sure to refer back to your theme and tie everything together in these 1-2 sentences. The conclusion comes after the body of the speech, and it can be very simple. For example, you can just say “Thank you again.”  Another simple example is, “Once again, I am so lucky to have such great friends and family. Thank you.” You can end on...

TL;DR in English: Write the introduction of the speech. Write the body of the speech. Write the conclusion of the speech. Edit the speech before practicing aloud.

Flour, eggs and brown sugar all hold on to moisture, leading to fluffy moist cookies. If you are look for a crispier treat, try using less of these three ingredients. All-purpose flour has a higher protein content compared to other flours. Extra protein helps create a browner appearance and crispier texture. This will allow the cookies time to spread before they firm. It will also help dry out your cookies as well. Compared to shortening or oil, butter has a lower melting temperature. This will allow your cookies to spread more during baking. Butter also has protein in it, which helps with browning and crisping. Avoid using brown sugar, which holds on to moisture, and instead use a processed sugar. This will lead to a drier and crispier cookie. Eggs hold a lot of moisture and, when cooked, they release lots of steam. This steam acts as a leavening agent, making cookies moist and fluffy. You will get a flatter, thinner and crispier cookie without eggs.  You can substitute applesauce instead of an egg, but applesauce also has a lot of moisture in it.  You could also try out vegetable oil.

TL;DR in English: Reduce ingredients that hold moisture. Use all-purpose flour. Bake the cookies for longer at a lower temperature. Use butter. Try white sugar or corn syrup. Skip the eggs.

Check that one of the racks inside your oven is in the top position so your grilled cheese cooks thoroughly. Turn the oven on to 450 °F (232 °C) and let it heat completely while you prepare your sandwiches. Once the oven is up to temperature, you can cook your sandwiches. You can also use a toaster oven if you don’t want to heat up your regular oven. Choose your favorite type of bread to use for your sandwich. Use 2 slices of the bread and spread room temperature butter on 1 side of each slice. Spread the butter to the edges of the slice to help get even browning and prevent them from burning.  Soften the butter if you don’t have any at room temperature so you don’t rip pieces off of your bread. Alternatively, you can spread mayonnaise on your bread instead of butter.

TL;DR in English:


Strive for good posture. Sleep on a supportive mattress. Wear only quality shoes that fit properly. Be active and move your body more. Eat foods rich in minerals and vitamins.

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet to catch the grease. Lining the bottom and sides of the sheet with aluminum foil will make clean up easier. Place the bacon in an airtight container. You can use the bacon while it's cold, keeping in mind that the bacon will lose its crispiness as it's stored. To reheat the bacon, heat the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the bacon is heated through. You can also reheat the bacon in the microwave. Set the bacon on a microwave-safe plate and heat the bacon in 20-second increments until it's heated through.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and line a sheet with foil. Store leftover bacon for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Before deciding what new sleeping position you want to habituate to, consider any physical ailments you might have. For example, if you've had back surgery, sleeping on your side in the fetal position may be the most comfortable. Furthermore, sleeping on your side may also be better if you have a history of snoring or sleep apnea. On the other hand, if you have chronic shoulder pain from an old sports injury, then sleeping on your back might be the best position.  Most people find that firm mattresses offer the most support and cause the least amount of musculoskeletal issues. In contrast, only a minority of people do well with soft mattresses or waterbeds. Consider investing in a high-quality, firm mattress. Pregnant women do best on their sides, with research suggesting that sleeping on the left side increases blood flow levels to the developing baby. From a musculoskeletal (functional) perspective, sleeping on your side provides the most benefit because it keeps your spine in normal alignment. It can alleviate neck pain (assuming your pillow is an appropriate size) and low back pain, reduce the incidence of acid reflux (heartburn), prevent snoring and ease the burdens of pregnancy. However, from an aesthetic perspective, side sleeping can promote facial wrinkles and saggy breasts, as they get a little squished.  If side sleeping, select a pillow that fits between the tip of you shoulder and the side of your head. Thus, thick pillows are best for broad-shouldered people and thin pillows for the narrow shouldered — a pillow of the appropriate thickness will keep your neck aligned and help prevent tension or cervicogenic headaches. To promote sleeping on your side, get a body pillow to hug, which might replace the sense of security and warmth you were getting from stomach sleeping. Everyone who sleeps on their side should use a pillow between their legs to promote hip alignment. Sleeping on your back (supine) is generally better for your spine compared to stomach sleeping, especially for your neck, but care...

TL;DR in English: Consider your physical limitations first. Sleep on your side. Sleep on your back.

Maintaining good posture while you sit and walk is crucial for the shape, function and overall health of your spine. Good posture doesn't mean completely straight, but it does mean balanced and aligned, such that the normal shape of your spine isn't compromised. Slouching is a classic sign of poor posture, so keep your shoulders pulled back, head up and low back slightly arched when you sit and walk. Good posture is often a reflection of confidence and good health.  While at work, make sure your office chair is height-adjustable and has lumbar support for your low back. At home, use small cushions to support your back while watching TV. Make sure your computer is at eye level and centered in front of your chair, otherwise you risk straining your neck and triggering headaches. Practicing walking with a book balanced on your head may sound old school, but it's still a great way to learn good posture. Your sleeping position is another important element of body posture. You spend about 1/3 of your time in your bed, so pay more attention to the quality of your mattress and your sleeping posture. For many people, firm mattresses are the best choice in order to provide the necessary support for their spines. Memory foam top covers may also be of benefit and provide more comfort. You should consider changing spring mattresses every eight to 10 years, whereas memory foam mattresses may have a shorter life span — rotate them on a weekly basis to increase longevity. The thickness of your pillow should roughly match the width from your shoulder to your ear, which helps to keep your neck aligned during sleep.  Most medical / health authorities feel that the best sleeping posture is laying on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed, and with a small pillow wedged between your thighs.  Don't read in bed with too many pillows behind your head because it will put strain on your neck and act to reverse the normal curvature of your cervical spine. Your feet are important for good biomechanics (movement) and posture...

Get all of the ingredients. Look for these spices at your local grocery store. Measure out all of your ingredients.

Don’t stop your medication. Talk to your doctor and let him or her know about persistent side effects. Discuss ways to manage them and still get the benefit you need from the medication. Sometimes, doses can be adjusted, timing can be altered, different medications can be tried, or you can be switched to or from a longer acting product that can help reduce your side effects.  You are the most important member of your healthcare team. Take an active role in monitoring your condition. This may lead to a lower dose if your condition is stable or improves. Take the medication properly. Take your dose(s) at the same time every day. Twice daily dosing is best at eight to ten hour intervals. Carvedilol is best absorbed if taken with food. By taking with food consistently, your body gets more from each dose and may lead to a good response that can allow you to talk to your doctor about trying a lower dose. Do not crush, open or break the tablets or capsules. Especially if you have the controlled release form of the medication. Some dosage forms allow for crushing or opening the capsule for people that have a difficult time swallowing. The crushed tablet or contents of the capsule can be spread on a small amount of applesauce or other food easy to swallow. Do not do this without making sure the tablets or capsules prescribed for you are safe to be crushed or opened. If you are allowed to break your tablets for dosing reasons, do not break more than what you immediately need. Many drugs lose their strength when exposed to air. Only open or break what you need for that dose, or that day’s doses. Several types of home devices are available to measure your blood pressure at home. Be sure you select a device your doctor agrees with since there are many different types of products available. Take it with you to the next appointment to have it calibrated.

The high traffic areas of your home with travertine floors, such as a doorway or a hallway, are more susceptible to damage. In order to keep your floors pristine, it is necessary to provide additional protection to high traffic areas. Protect these areas from abrasive dirt and damaging grime with seasonal doormats, sleek runners, and timeless area rugs. Travertine floors are easily damaged and must be cleaned with care. To maintain a well-kept floor, vacuum, dust, and sweep your travertine regularly.  Never drag an upright or full sized canister vacuum across your floor to suck up debris. Instead, suck up abrasive debris that might scrape your floors, such as dirt and gravel, with a handheld vacuum. Remove dirt and debris from your floors with a dry dust mop. When washing your floors, only use a soapless, neutral PH 7 mild abrasive cleaner and water. Always follow the product’s instructions. Use broad sweeping motions that overlap to clean your floor. Dry and polish with a clean microfiber cloth. To deep clean your floors, you may use an automatic scrubber with disk brush attachment. As a porous stone, travertine stains easily. After identifying what caused the stain, use specific products to remove the blemish.  Oil-based stains darken the stone and must be removed with chemicals. Blot the stain with a clean cloth to remove any excess residue. To remove the stain, use a soft liquid household cleaner, such as ammonia, acetone, or detergent. Apply the product to the stone on a damp cloth. Place the cloth over the stain to draw out the oil-based product.  Organic stains, such as those caused by coffee, juice, urine, and food, turn the travertine pink or brown. Remove these stains with a mixture of 12% hydrogen peroxide—food grade hydrogen peroxide—and a few drops of ammonia. Apply the product to the stone on a damp cloth. Place the cloth over the stain to draw out the organic stain.  The method for removing ink stains varies based on the color of the stone. If the stain is on a light colored stone, use bleach...

Potato curry requires many spices, and it is important to make sure you have each one before you start cooking. Here is a list of ingredients you will need:  2 cups of quartered potatoes 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 medium size tomato 1/2 tsp red chili powder 1 green chili chopped 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp kasuri methi (dried methi leaves) 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh curry leaves 1/8 tsp turmeric 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp cumin 1 pinch of hing 1 tsp salt 1 large saucepan and medium pot Stirring spoon and knife If your local grocery store does not carry them, try searching at a designated spice store or online. As you are cooking, it is much easier to have your ingredients already measured and ready so you do not have to waste time measuring each one out as you have food cooking on the stove.

One of the major causes of morning back pain is a poor sleeping position during the night. Like sitting with poor posture in a chair all day, sleeping in a poor position all night will cause your back to become stiff and tense, leading to back pain in the morning (think about it: that's eight hours in a position that strains your back). Though it may be difficult to train your body to embrace a different sleep position than customary, it is worth doing as a way to prevent morning back pain.  Try to sleep on one side with your legs bent and tucked towards your chest. You can also place your hands by your head or under your pillow. This fetal sleeping position will put very little stress on your back and help to prevent stiffness and discomfort in the morning. You may also want to place a pillow between your legs while you lay on your side to help release tension in your lower back. Tuck the pillow between your knees and let your legs relax. If you tend to get the best sleep when sleep on your back, slide a pillow or a rolled towel under your knees before going to bed. This will help to relieve any stress or tension on your back as you sleep. If you are a light sleeper and tend to wake up throughout the night, make an effort to shift your sleep position so your back is better supported. This could mean moving from sleeping on your back to sleeping on one side in the fetal position. Or, you may place a pillow on either end of the bed to prevent you from rolling around onto your stomach or your back during the night. Over time, your body may adapt on its own to a sleep position that is better for your back. You should make sure you are sleeping on a good quality mattress that is not sagging in certain areas or lumpy. A good mattress can help to provide good support for your back as you sleep, especially if you tend to sleep on your back. You may want to invest in a mattress pad that you can place over your mattress to make it more comfortable and smooth, or consider getting a new mattress if your mattress is...

TL;DR in English: Try to sleep on one side in the fetal position. Put a pillow or a rolled towel under your knees if you tend to sleep on your back. Adjust your sleep position if you wake up during the night. Check that your mattress does not sag or have lumps. Pay attention to the temperature in the room.

Wait for your yellow flowers to fade and for the leaves to grow. At this point, the plant starts to develop next year's buds, and the plant carries the buds through the fall and winter season. This is the best time to prune your forsythia. If you wait to prune your forsythias until after the springtime, the number of flowers that your plant yields next season will be considerably less.  This is a good idea if your bush is large and unruly and you want to tame it back. You may sacrifice a season of flowers, but your forsythia bush will look much better the next year. Young forsythias need little to no pruning. Only when they mature should you prune them once a year. If you want to help maintain the shape of the plant as it grows, you can snip off a few longer stems once a year, though this is not required. Letting the plant take its natural shape helps it establish a healthy root system.

TL;DR in English: Prune forsythia plants right after they finish blooming in the spring. Prune in the summer, fall, or winter to reduce the number of flowers. Avoid pruning your forsythia when the plant is 1-3 years old.

Use a solid color, or a combination of contrasting or complementary colors. For a whimsical look, paint the seat one color, the back another and the legs another. For subtle touches, paint the entire chair a solid color, then apply accents, such as striping or polka dots, using an alternate color or 2.  Stir the paint thoroughly before applying. Use a brush that's easy to hold and small enough to fit between all of the chair's components. It's typically easiest to turn the chair upside down and paint the legs first. When finished, stand the chair on back on its legs and paint the remainder of the chair. Use spray paint for fast results. Be sure to shake the canisters thoroughly before applying.

Sometimes, the most effective thing you can do is model inclusive language and actions for others. Put your values into practice, and help your peers understand what it means to treat others with dignity and respect.  Use the language preferred by individual communities. For example, "autistic people" instead of "people with autism" is the preferred language of the Autistic community. However, everyone has their own language preferences and beliefs. If an autistic person wants to be referred to as a “person who has autism,” use this language to refer to them. Respect other people’s chosen pronouns, names, or identities. If someone prefers to be called “he,” “she,” “they,” or something else, respect their wishes instead of trying to correct them. Challenge yourself and your friends to have lunch or start conversations with people of ethnicities, faiths, social groups, and identities other than your own. Any programs you organize to promote your ideals will be most effective if you tap the resources of whoever’s in charge. A school principal, supervisor at work, or local government representative can broaden your impact and help you correct any specific injustices you’ve observed.  You could write in a letter or email, “I’ve noticed fellow students, faculty, and staff have good intentions, but don't know how to foster an inclusive atmosphere. Our community would benefit from a mentor, and I’d like to seek the administration’s support in hosting educational programs.” Reaching out to those in power can be intimidating. However, remember that principals are responsible for your well-being, bosses need to be stewards of companies, and your elected officials work for you. Instead of taking on all social issues at once, tackle 1 issue that directly affects your community. Raise awareness of the problem through social media, public events, and 1-on-1 conversations.  For example, you might notice that sidewalks in your town are poorly maintained, which poses a hazard for people who may have mobility issues. Contact...

Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air. The amount of sunlight palm trees require, as well as the amount of cold they tolerate, also depend on species. Consult a list of some common palms used in landscaping, and their sunlight requirements and cold tolerances:  Warm weather palms:   Cuban or Florida Royal Palm. Cold tolerant to 22° F (-5° C); full sun to partial shade.  Sago Palms. Cold tolerant to 20° F (-6° C); filtered sunlight to full sun.  Canary Island Date Palm. Cold tolerant to 19° F (-7° C).  Queen Palm. Cold tolerant to 18° F (-7° C); full sun.   Cold weather palms:   Mexican Fan Palm. Cold tolerant to 15° F (-9° C).  Cabbage Palms. Cold tolerant to 12° F (-11° C); full sun.  Pindo Palm. Cold tolerant to 10° F (-12° C).  Chinese Windmill Palm. Cold tolerant to 8° F (-13° C); full sun. What size palm you select will depend largely on just three things:  Budget: Small palms cost less, big palms cost more. Small palms can cost as little as $100 while big behemoths can cost thousands of dollars. Aesthetics: Do you want to watch your palm grow, or do you want it to immediately fit into your landscape? Mature trees cost much more than immature trees. Maneuverability. Starting with mature palms is expensive, sometimes so big that they need to be trucked and craned into the site. If you're trying to plant in a location where maneuvering big trees is going to be hard, you may want to opt for a smaller one. Because large palm trees are extremely heavy and you may need to use heavy equipment during the planting process, it's best to look for an area that is easily accessible. Planting on an even, low slope in the front yard will be much easier than planting on a steep grade or in the back. Check into the property plat plan. See city or county permits, maps and utility plats, and call your local utility for locating service to be sure of routing of underground utilities, if there is any...

Read the labels on cans of paint carefully to see how much they cover. Get roughly 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 400 sq ft (37 m2) if your walls are smooth. Buy approximately 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 250 sq ft (23 m2) if your walls are rough. Get twice as much paint if you’re covering a color or adding 2 coats.

You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.

This device is similar to an apple peeler. You insert the vegetable and turn a crank to force it through the blade in a spiral motion.  Spiral shredders come in a few different types. In some cases, you place the vegetable inside a small container. While others ask you to insert the vegetable into a horizontal platform. Read the directions carefully before using the slicer. This machine works best with long, straight vegetables. Each squash should be at least one inch in diameter. Don’t cut the zucchini in half vertically. The slicer will leave a small core that includes the mature seeds. Place the lid or crank on the machine. You will feel when the crank stops giving you resistance. A small vegetable core will remain.

TL;DR in English: Order a spiral vegetable slicer. Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Insert the squash into the machine, right in front of the blade. Turn the crank to cut the vegetable in a spiral motion. Remove the spiral shreds from the machine or the other side of the spiral shredder.

Many cans of paint list the number of square feet or meters that they cover on the label. This is mainly because certain styles of paint cover walls differently. If the paint can lists the number of square feet or meters that it covers, use that measurement to determine how many cans to buy instead of estimating. For example, if a 1 gallon (3.8 L) can reads that it covers 350 square feet (33 m2), and your wall is 10,000 square feet (930 m2), divide 10,000 square feet (930 m2) by 350 square feet (33 m2) to determine how many gallons (or liters) you need. If you have a new or refurbished home with smooth walls, your paint won’t have a hard time covering your drywall. Buy approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of paint for every 400 square feet (37 m2) that you’re going to paint.  This is a rough estimate. The texture of your walls, brand of paint, and the temperature of your room will all change the amount of paint you need to cover a wall. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are even, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 400 square feet (37 m2) to get 10.66 gallons (40.4 L). Always round up when you have a decimal or fraction at the end of your measurement for the paint. If you need more than 4 gallons (15 L), buy in 5 US gal (19 L) increments. Paint suppliers typically offer a discount for buying 5 US gal (19 L) containers instead of smaller 1 gallon (3.8 L) cans. If you’re painting exposed brick, stucco, or older drywall, your paint is going to have a rougher time soaking into the texture of your walls. Buy roughly 1 gallon (3.8 L) for every 250 square feet (23 m2) to play it safe. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are kind of old, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 250 square feet (23 m2) to get 17.06 gallons (64.6 L). If you’re going to be painting some red or green walls white, you’re going to need a lot more paint to cover your walls. If you plan on painting multiple coats, double the square footage that you calculated...

While they may not be able to figure out what the problem is, your hazard lights will tell other drivers to proceed with caution and pay  attention to what your vehicle is doing. Your hazard light button should be somewhere on your dashboard, and the symbol for them is an orange triangle inside an orange triangle. Lifting off the gas will begin to slow the car down, just by virtue of friction and gravity. Also, your cruise control system should turn off as soon as you touch the brake or clutch, but to be safe, make sure to switch it off manually. If you're driving a manual, press the clutch and downshift into the next gear down. This will begin to slow the car. Keep shifting down as you feel the car slow down. If you're in an automatic, use the gear selector to shift to second. Then, shift to first (also sometimes marked as "L" or "lower").  While you may be feeling panicked, you don't need to downshift all at once. Let the car slow down naturally if you're not in danger of hitting something. Most automatics have a second and first gear on the gear selector. If you have tap-to-shift, shift into manual "M" (generally to the right or left of "Drive" on console-shift vehicles or the bottom gear on column-shift vehicles) and press the minus button to shift down. Again, if you can’t go directly into the lowest range, try gradually shifting down. Look for a place to get off the road. You want to cause as little damage as possible to you and other vehicles, so get away from the main thoroughfare if possible. If you're on the freeway, get off it if you can. If you can't get off the freeway, use the shoulder. When your brakes fail, often they will only partially fail. You may still have some brakes in place, and pumping the brakes may be enough to slow you to a complete stop. After pumping a few times, press the brakes all the way to the floor to see if you have any pressure left. Pump quickly to build up friction. If you still aren't stopped, pull up on the emergency brake. That's usually the large lever that's next...

TL;DR in English: Turn your hazard lights on to warn other drivers. Take your foot off the gas and/or turn off the cruise control. Shift into a lower gear. Pull over to the side of the road. Pump the brakes to try to stop. Try the emergency (parking) brake at lower speeds.

Make an honest assessment of your marijuana use by asking questions about how much and often you need to use the drug. These questions can help you to more easily make the decision to quit using the drug.  Being doubtful about your habit could make it difficult to quit, even if you know it’s the best decision for you.  It is easy to downplay or underestimate your own level of dependence on marijuana. Ask a friend or family member for an independent opinion of your use.  Surrounding yourself with a different group of people may help you realize the extent of your use. If you’ve decided to quit using marijuana, you may feel confused about the most effective way to do this. Schedule an appointment with your doctor or another medical professional to talk about your decision to quit marijuana and your options for treatment.  Medical professionals who can help you include your primary care physician, a physician who specializes in drug addiction, a licensed drug and alcohol counselor, as well as a psychiatrist or psychologist.  Your primary care physician may refer to an internist or other doctor that specializes in drug addiction. You may additionally want to see a mental health professional to help you cope with the emotional aspects of quitting.  Be completely honest with your doctor(s) about your drug use. This can help her formulate the most effective treatment plan for you.  Take a list of any medications, vitamins, supplements or other illegal drugs that you are taking. Remember, your doctor is there to help you, so honesty is important.  Ask your doctor about different treatment options and educating yourself about marijuana use.  Expect your doctor to ask specific questions about your use, prior attempts to quit, withdrawal and your support system. You and your doctor can formulate a treatment plan that best suits you. Make sure to choose an option or options with which you feel most comfortable. Some of the different types of treatment include:  Chemical dependence treatment programs. These usually offer...

Glass canning jars work well for this purpose. Fill the container to the top to minimize the amount of oxygen in the container. Break up 3 cinnamon sticks and immerse them in the milk. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of fresh mint by rolling it between your fingers. Place it in the milk and stir it. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of rose petals by rolling them between your fingers. Place them directly in the milk and stir them. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk. Stir them well.  Remove them and remove the plant or spice particles by pouring the milk through a metal strainer. Scented almond milk will have a mild flavor of the plant or spice. The act of breathing in the scent can make the taste of the milk more pleasing. These milks are great to use on desserts, granola or in smoothies and shakes. You can also add honey or agave syrup to create a sweeter flavor in your scented milk.

Since crushed ice is already broken down (and a little easier to blend) than cubed ice, it’s going to create a creamier consistency. If you don’t have crushed ice, use a food processor to crush up the ice into bean-sized chunks beforehand. Cover the blender with a lid and blend the ingredients until it’s close to the consistency of a milkshake. If you see large clumps of ice (bigger than the size of a pea), keep blending until they’re not noticeable.  How long you need to blend it depends on the power of your blender, so check it every 30 to 45 seconds if you’re not sure. If the mixture has the consistency of thin milk, add nonfat dry milk powder about 2 tablespoons (6.0  tsp) at a time until you have a thicker, creamy consistency. Place the container as far back into the freezer as possible to speed up the process. You can even wedge it between other frozen items to make it go even faster. You can take it out sooner if you’re ready to eat it, but note that some parts may be less solidified than others. If you like your ice cream super soft, take it out at the 2 hour mark. Add fresh cherries, sliced bananas, granola (or crushed graham crackers/waffle cones), and chocolate syrup to make a sundae.  Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (3.0  tsp) of coconut flakes over the top with a few small chunks of fresh mango for a tropical-tasting treat. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a week. Wrap the top with saran wrap (before putting on the lid) to keep the top from frosting over!

TL;DR in English: Place 2 cups (470 mL) of crushed ice into your blender. Blend the mixture for at least 1 minute or until it’s smooth. Put it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Spoon the ice cream into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings.

Check the physician’s orders, MAR, and the Parenteral Drug Therapy Manual (PDTM) to identify the correct medication to be administered. Then prepare the medication by sticking the syringe into the appropriate vial. Make sure to fill the syringe with an appropriate amount of medication. The dosage of an intradermal injection is typically below 0.5 ml. Place non-sterile gloves, a syringe, alcohol swabs, and gauze on a tray. Place the tray near your workstation.  Make sure the needle you are using is a 3⁄8 to 3⁄4 inch (1.0 to 1.9 cm), 26 to 28 gauge needle. Non-sterile, medical gloves are typically used for medical procedures that are non-surgical. Introduce yourself to the patient. To reduce the patient’s anxiety about the procedure, explain to the patient why the procedure is being done and what it will entail. Also, allow the patient to express any concerns and to ask questions before you begin. To avoid any kind of contamination, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Lather your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and rinse with warm water. Before turning off the water, dry your hands with paper towels and use the paper towels to turn off the faucet. Once your hands are dry, put on your medical gloves to prepare for the procedure. Intradermal injections are usually given on the inner surface of the forearm. Choose an injection site that is free of hair, moles, rashes, scars, and other skin lesions. Intradermal injections can also be administered on the patient’s thigh or the back of their upper arm. Ask the patient where they prefer you to administer the medication. Ensure you have the correct medication and dosage. You should also double-check the patient’s name to be sure you are administering the correct medication to the correct person. Ensure the patient knows what you are administering. You could say “the doctor ordered ‘xyz medication.’ Is this what you were expecting?”

TL;DR in English: Prepare the medication. Gather your supplies. Explain the procedure to the patient. Wash your hands and put on gloves. Choose the injection site. Double check the medication and patient.

Acknowledge and learn the cause your embarrassment. Recognize that you are not alone. Accept your feelings. Become familiar with the product.

Make sure that you put the gloves on before you begin mixing any bleach. Bleach can be very damaging to skin and fabrics, so the towel will protect you and your clothes from any bleach that drips from your hair  Many bleach kits will come with the gloves for you to use, but your own plastic or latex gloves are also fine. A hairdressing cape will also work well instead of an old towel if you have access to one. The ratio of the bleach powder to the developer will be specified on the bleach kit box. Make sure that you use a non-metallic bowl. Place an old towel beneath the bowl to avoid the bleach damaging the surface. Remove this section from the plastic clip, and keep the rest of your hair clipped back. This section should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick if you have thin hair, or thinner if you have thick hair. Bleaching your hair in small sections will make sure that the bleach is applied thoroughly and evenly throughout. Make sure that the bleach covers the full length of your hair, but leave the roots uncovered since the bleach may irritate your scalp. Brush the bleach through in the same direction that your hair grows, starting at the top and ending at the tip. Work as quickly and carefully as possible, so that the first section doesn’t lighten too much before you have put the bleach into the last section. Apply bleach to this side too, brushing it through in exactly the same way. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally miss a spot. You can group this section together, and clip it back with a plastic clip again to keep it out of the way while you bleach the rest of your hair. Repeat the bleaching process through the rest of the first quarter, the other back quarter, and the two front quarters.  Remember to leave the roots unbleached for now. By the time you have finished the final front quarter, the first back quarter will be starting to lighten. After you have bleached all of the sections of your hair, you can also do the same to the 1 cm (0.4 in) of root hair. Bleach can make your scalp feel itchy...

TL;DR in English: Put on disposable gloves and drape an old towel over your shoulders. Mix together the bleach powder and the developer with the tint brush. Take a thin section of hair from one of the back quarters. Apply the bleach to this section using the tint brush. Flip the first section over to show the side that hasn’t been bleached. Continue applying bleach to thin sections until each quarter is complete. Apply bleach to your roots if you want them bleached too.

In most cases, you can sign up for a physical with the same institution offering the commercial diver certification you're seeking. Along with a head-to-toe examination, you'll also be tested on your swimming abilities and cardiovascular conditioning.  Having drugs, alcohol, or an infectious illness in your system can be enough to temporarily disqualify you from receiving a commercial diver certification. In this case, you'll need to retake the physical once you're clear of the offending substance. If you exhibit symptoms of asthma, claustrophobia, severe motion sickness, collapsed lung, cardiac arrhythmia, or congestive heart failure, you may be denied certification permanently.  It's recommended that you submit to a dive physical before going any further, even if the dive school you plan on attending doesn't require one. You may discover that you have some type of limitation that won't allow you to pursue a career as an underwater welder. Enroll in a commercial diving academy in your state or territory and work your way through their training program. The duration of these programs vary, but most are set up to be finished in 5-6 months, or around 900 training hours. Upon completing the program, you'll be receive a valid and industry-recognized commercial diver certification.  A few of the more notable commercial diving academies include the American National Standards Institute Association of Commercial Diving Educator (ANSI/ACDE), the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI), and Diver's Academy International. Some commercial diving academies make it mandatory for applicants to pass a written entrance exam and a dive physical before they're accepted into a specific program. This is where you'll bring your 2 newly-acquired skills, welding and commercial diving, together. The course content and length of underwater welding programs can vary greatly, but most consist of both traditional study and hands-on training in wet welding skills, and may range from 6 months to 2 years.  In addition to...

In order to manage your embarrassment, you first need to own it and understand it. Embarrassment is the feeling of awkwardness or humiliation when we believe we are being negatively evaluated by another.  Learn why you get embarrassed about buying sexual items in order to fully grasp what may need to change (thoughts or behaviors) in order to reduce your embarrassment. Identify what thoughts result in you feeling embarrassed about buying personal or sex-related items. Is it because you are worried about what other people are thinking about you? Is it because you are afraid you will run into someone you know? Understanding the specific components that produce embarrassment or fear for you will be helpful in developing ways of coping with the situation. For example, most individuals who purchase condoms do so by going to a store. Only about 5% of people get them from a medical clinic, and even less (.4%) purchase them online. Additionally, one study showed that approximately 55% of men and about 69% of women found condom purchasing to be embarrassing. This means it is quite common to feel embarrassed when buying personal or sex-related items.  When you are worried about the situation, remember that most people who buy personal products such as condoms, go to a store to do it. If they can do it, so can you! When you are worrying about feeling embarrassed while buying a personal product, remind yourself that others feel similarly in your situation. Acceptance of your emotions is crucial to becoming motivated to better yourself and make positive changes, such as confidently buying personal items. Also, as previously stated, over half of shoppers report feeling embarrassed when buying items like condoms. Accept that embarrassment is a normal and natural emotion, especially when dealing with buying private items. When you are feeling embarrassed, think to yourself, “It is okay that I am feeling this way. Many people feel embarrassed in this very situation.” Studies suggest that the more comfortable and familiar you...

Take a moment to focus on your breathing before initiating sex. Use that time to clear your head of any thoughts that might distract you or cause you additional anxiety. If you find it impossible to let go of the stresses from that day, try having sex on a less-stressful day instead. Trying and failing when you can't clear your mind will only cause further stress and anxiety. It may also help to meditate before having sex as meditation is known to alleviate anxiety. Some doctors and couples therapists recommend slowing down during foreplay to help ease into sex. Focus on touching/caressing your partner, and take your time during foreplay to get comfortable with one another and ensure that your partner's needs are met. This can help take some of the pressure off. Practice mindfulness during sex. Think about how each part of your body feels and how you are connected to your partner. You can enjoy sexual play without an orgasm. Try to enjoy the time you're spending with your partner and allow yourself to be happy in the moment, no matter what happens. Try to remove expectations. Taking away the expectations associated with sex can help alleviate some of the pressure you might be feeling. Enjoy every sensation you are having with your partner, and communicate throughout the experience with your partner. Communication can help alleviate a lot of anxiety and ensure both you and your partner are comfortable throughout the experience. Tell your partner when you like something while it's happening. Sex therapists will often advise a couple to abstain from intercourse until the affected partner can overcome his or her anxiety associated with performance. Even if you don't think you need a break from sex, it's important to allow yourself to simply not want sex from time to time. This can help take some of the pressure off of performance anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Practice deep breathing beforehand. Take your time. Focus on your partner. Communicate during sex. Take a break from intercourse for a while.

The right earrings can alter the overall appearance of your ears quite well, but the wrong ones will make them stand out even more. There are two approaches people use for large ears, so try them both and see which works for you:  Small lobe earrings detract attention from tall or stuck-out ear tips. Studs are a good choice, but small hoops or dangle earrings can work. Other people take the opposite approach and wear large lobe earrings, making the ears look relatively smaller. Like upper cartilage piercings, this tactic does make your ears into a focal point, but perhaps one you can be proud of. Not only do these draw attention to your eyes, a pair of sunglasses with large frames can partially hide your ears if you push them up to your forehead. While you might worry about your ears, chances are good that other people barely notice them, especially if you draw their attention elsewhere. Choose a top with a bright color or a vivid pattern, or wear a necklace. Wearing a little makeup will focus attention on your face. Try contouring using two shades of foundation. Start by contouring the outline of your face with foundation two or three shades darker than your skin, then use lighter foundation to highlight areas such as the center of your forehead and the bridge of your nose. Blend these together well along the border between them. You can even contour the outer edge of your ears in the same way, but this can be difficult to get right if you're not used to applying makeup. On days when you are feeling especially insecure, pin back your ears to the side of your head using double-sided tape. Use a tape intended for skin to avoid pulling out your hair, such as clothing fashion tape. This is a temporary measure for occasional use. The tape may come undone if you leave it on too long. There are many accessories that hide your ears altogether, including headbands, earmuffs, bandanas, scarves, turbans, hoods, or a hat large enough to tuck your ears into. A large pair of headphones will also work when you're engaged...

TL;DR in English: Experiment with earrings. Wear sunglasses. Distract with a flashy top or necklace. Contour your face with makeup. Use double-sided tape. Cover your ears completely.

. If you want to remove blackheads naturally, it's important to separate the astringent cleaners from the gentle cleaners to keep your skin as healthy as possible. It's likely you'll want to avoid harsh, alcohol-based cleaners, as well as chemical-based commercial cleansers. It's also important to be gentle with your skin as you wash. Don't pick at your blackheads, or scrub your skin vigorously. Only use gentle scrubbing, even if you're exfoliating. You don't need to dig at your skin to keep it clean. . Done properly and applied in the correct way, home remedies can be crafted using a wide variety of ingredients that are effective at tightening, soothing, and exfoliating your skin, making your skin more inhospitable to blackheads. . Using natural-based moisturizers is essential to healthy skin. While many associate oiliness with blackheads, it's true that using excessive products that dry out your skin will actually end up making your skin oilier in the long run. Remember to moisturize regularly with natural plant-based oils and moisturizers to keep your skin healthy. There are many types of oil you can use, such as olive, avocado, or almond oil. Pour 1–2 teaspoons (4.9–9.9 ml) of the oil into your hand and gently massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes to remove dead skin, makeup, or dirt. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. When you’re finished, pat the area dry with a clean towel.Mix a few drops of essential oil into the oil if you want to make it scented.

Following a shower, your shower’s walls are covered in water, soap, and dirt particles. When left on the walls, soap scum is formed and mildew and molds grow. To prevent the build up of these items, squeegee your shower walls and door after each use. Run over the walls and corners with a clean, dry towel to soak up any remaining water. Leave the shower door ajar to allow the area to dry.   Maintaining this daily routine will make it easier to clean your travertine shower. To eliminate soap scum, switch from bar soap to liquid soap. While wiping down your shower walls after each use will dramatically decrease the presence of soap scum, mildew, and mold, trace amounts of these items will cover your shower walls. Clean your  shower every one to two weeks.  Spray the walls and shower door with a gentle cleaner. Allow the product to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Buff the travertine stone, glass, and metal fixtures with a clean microfiber cloth. Eradicate mineral build-up with a stone scrub, an abrasive cleaner that should be used with caution on polished surfaces. Spray the treated area with a gentle cleaner and blot with a microfiber cloth. Constant exposure to water can damage travertine tiles, ruin grout, and encourage the production of soap scum, mildew, and mold. To maintain a clean, structurally sound shower, conduct a deep clean and an assessment every six months.  Treat your walls with a soap film remover to remove soap scum build up. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes before polishing it off with a microfiber rag. Target mildew and mold in your shower with a mild mildew remover. After allowing product to sit for a few minutes, remove the residue with a clean microfiber rag. Examine your grout and search for cracks and holes. If you discover any missing grout, repair it immediately—cracks and holes in the grout may lead to extensive water damage. Allow the repaired grout to cure for 7 to 10 days. Observe the tiles for discoloration. If you spot a dark tile that was once light, this is a sign of water...

International Chemical Safety Cards provide succinct, detailed safety information. Search for the exact name of the acid you will be using, such as "hydrochloric acid," in the online database. Some acids may require additional safety precautions, besides those described below.  Sometimes several cards are issued, depending on the concentration and additions to the acid. Pick the one that most closely matches your initial acid solution. If you prefer to read them in another language, select one here. Splash safety goggles that cover all sides of the eyes are required when handling acid. Protect your skin and clothing by wearing gloves and a lab coat or apron.  Tie up long hair before handling the acid. Acid can take several hours to burn holes through clothing. Even if you do not notice a spill, a few drops can damage your clothing if it is not underneath a lab coat. Whenever possible, keep the acid solution in a functioning fume hood while you are working. This limits exposure to gaseous vapors produced by the acid, which can be corrosive or poisonous. If a fume hood is not available, open all windows and doors, or turn on a fan to ventilate the area. If acid gets on your eyes or skin, you'll need to flush it with cool, running water for 15–20 minutes. Don't start the dilution until you know where to find the nearest functioning eye wash station or sink. When washing your eyes, keep your eyelids wide open. Rotate your eyes by looking up, right, down, and left to make sure all sides of your eyeball are rinsed. You can purchase an acid spill kit that contains all the necessary materials, or acquire neutralizers and absorbers separately. The process described here can be used for hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, or phosphoric acid, but other acids may require further research to dispose of properly:  Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors, and turning on fume hoods and fans. Apply a weak base such as sodium carbonate (soda ash), sodium bicarbonate, or calcium carbonate to the outer edges of the spill,...

TL;DR in English: Read the relevant Chemical Safety Cards online. Wear splash goggles, gloves, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood or ventilated area. Know where running water is located. Have a spill plan ready, specific to your acid.

The longer your hair is, the heavier it will be, which explains why long hair often lacks volume. Therefore, one of the fastest ways to add volume is to get a haircut. Some well-placed, expertly cut layers, or even a blunt-ended cut can immediately make hair lighter and fuller -- not to mention healthier looking.  Go to a hair stylist who you trust and who listens to exactly what you're asking for. A good, professional haircut will give more life to your hair than any product or styling method. Bring photos of your desired style so that you can show the stylist exactly what you want. For best results, look for photos of people who have a similar face shape and hair texture as yours. Well-placed highlights and lowlights can give the impression of depth and thickness to your hair, making it appear more voluminous than it actually is. Dark colors will also make your hair look thicker than lighter ones, so consider going a shade or two darker to give the illusion of volume. A professional color job or set of highlights will do much more for your hair than a home dye kit. This is due to the fact that trained hairdressers can mix different shades and tones to find a color that's just right for you, giving your hair an added dimension that just cannot be achieved out of a box. Hot rollers are an excellent way to add bounciness and volume to your hair, with a touch of pin-up girl glamour. If you're not looking for tight curls, don't worry -- bigger rollers will add volume and life, but won't give a huge amount of curl to hair. When using, make sure the rollers are heated to the correct temperature before putting them in.  Use the hot rollers on day old hair, if possible. Comb out any tangles to create a smooth base. Start with the front sections, rolling the the hair away from the face rather than underneath. Once all of the rollers are in, let them sit in the hair for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have cooled completely. Liberally apply hairspray all over your head before removing the rollers. Once out, use your...

Rinse 1 cup (225 g) of rice in a strainer with cool water. Turn the rice cooker on and let it cook until it turns off. Leave the rice in the rice cooker, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.

If you want to know the date, use the phrase "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" (coo-AHL ess lah FAY-chah day oy). This question means "What is today's date?" While there are other ways to ask for the same information, this is the most common. The day of the week can be just as important as the specific date, especially when planning future events. If you learn how to say the date in Spanish, it's also a good idea to know how to say the days of the week in case you're asked.  Sunday is domingo (doh-MEEN-goh). Monday is lunes (LOO-nays). Tuesday is martes (MAR-tays). Wednesday is miércoles (mee-AIR-coh-lays). Thursday is jueves (hoo-AY-bays). Friday is viernes (bee-AIR-nays). Saturday is sábado (SAH-bah-doh). In Spanish, unlike in English, the definite article el (meaning "the") is always used before a date or a word for the day of the week. While you may hear the plural los used, the word el when used with a date or day of the week can be considered singular or plural. For example, if someone asked you in Spanish what your favorite day of the week was, you could reply "el viernes" or "los viernes." This response could be translated either as "Friday" or "Fridays." If you want to know what day of the week it is, you'll usually ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" (kay DEE-ah ess oy). Be careful with this question, though, because it is sometimes interpreted as asking for the date. You can also drop the hoy from the end and simply ask "¿Qué día es?" The verb hacer means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish, but when it is accompanied by "que," it can be used as a time expression. One of the primary uses of this verb in Spanish is talking about actions that happened in the past.   Hacer + length of time + que (KAY) + the past tense conjugation of the verb describes an action that occurred at a particular point in time in the past. For example, you might say "Hace tres años que empecé a trabajar aquí" to mean "I started working here three years ago." To talk about a past action that continues into the present, use hacer with the present...

TL;DR in English: Ask what the date is. Learn the days of the week. Use el when talking about days or dates. Ask what day of the week it is. Use the verb hacer (HAH-say) in common time expressions. Include the word desde for "since. Learn other words to reference time.

Use your hands to gently sift the rice so that every grain gets rinsed off. Keep doing this until the water runs clear. You may be able to cook more or less rice, but this may affect the cooking time. Simple rice cookers typically have an on/off switch, but fancier rice cookers may have multiple cooking options. In this case, you'll need to select the correct cooking option before it starts cooking the rice. Which cooking option you select depends on the type of rice cooker you have as well as the type of rice you are using: short, medium, or long grain. This allows the steam to escape from the cooker at a slower rate, resulting in fluffier rice. If you don't do this, the grains may appear mushy, sticky, or clumpy. Do not take the lid off. If you do, the steam will escape too fast and ruin the texture of the rice.

Clean and condition your hair regularly. Brush your hair to eliminate tangles. Avoid excessive heat. Style hair with products made from natural ingredients.

The best bag for this is a thin, cheap, trashcan liner. It should be translucent or clear. Do not use a regular trash bag; it will be too heavy. You can also use a dry cleaning bag instead. If you do, make sure that it is the short kind used for shirts; be sure to tape the hole at the top of the bag. Do not use plastic grocery bags. They are too small and too heavy. Place the opening of the bag in front of a small fan. Make sure that there are no gaps. Turn the fan on. The bag should fill up like a balloon. If it does not fill up, it may have some holes. Find these holes and cover them with a piece of scotch tape. The day should be cool; the balloon will not fly well on a hot day. Make sure that there is no wind; even the slightest breeze will keep the balloon from flying. The best time to fly would be at dawn or dusk as the weather is the most still. Cold, winter days with high pressure are the best for flying. You can also fly your balloon inside. Make sure that there is a lot of space, and that there are no curtains or carpets inside. If the balloon lands close to one of those, you could start a fire. A great place to fly is in a garage or a school gym. You will be working with fire, so you want to be safe. If you are a child, make sure that you have an adult with you at all times.

TL;DR in English: Find a thin, plastic bag. Make sure that the bag does not have any holes by putting it in front of a small fan. Check the weather if you are planning on flying outside.

Use vegetable or olive oil and lightly coat the outside of each potato. This will help keep the skin moist and smooth. You can put a few drops of oil directly onto the potato and rub it around with your hands.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and oil the outside of the potatoes.

Wash your hair thoroughly every time you bathe, or every other time, if you have especially dry or damaged hair. Shampoo first and rinse completely, then apply conditioner and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Work the lather into your scalp to wash away dirt and oil, and condition the shaft down to the tips. Use hair products that contain healthy vitamins, proteins and oils so that your hair will stay strong and healthy.  Washing your hair too much can also damage it. Your hair needs a light coating of natural oils, so consider only shampooing every other day (or even every two days for those with curly, frizzy hair) and use a little conditioner on the ends in the meantime.  Cleansing conditioners and natural shampoos that make use of essential oils can also get your hair clean without drying it out. Invest in a good soft-bristled brush or wide-toothed comb and use it often. Combing and brushing rids hair of pesky knots and tangles, which can cause damage if left untreated. If you want the kind of smooth, flowing, silky hair you see on your favorite celebrities, you should make frequent brushing a hair care priority.  Brush your hair before you shower to prevent it from being poofy once it dries. Choose a brush that works best for your hair type and the style you’re trying to achieve. Too much straightening, curling and blow drying robs your hair of its natural moisture and leads to breakage. Use these styling techniques sparingly, and make sure to protect your hair with heat-treatment products when you do. If you usually blow dry your hair, start using a medium or low heat setting instead of turning it on full blast. It will take longer, but you’ll have luxurious hair to show for it.  Use quick, smooth strokes when straightening, and low heat when curling, to minimize the damage that the heat does to your hair. Pulling your hair back too tight, wearing a hat all day or spending a lot of time in the sun can also be bad for your hair. Just like heat, the chemical agents in certain hair products can strip and...

Clean yourself up. Dress well. Approach with confidence. Start a conversation. Respect her personal space.

Babies inherit genes from both the mother’s side and the father’s side to determine eye color. This means that the mother’s eye color will have a direct influence on the baby’s eye color, though they may not be the same. The first step to a good prediction is to note the eye color of the mother as one of the following:  Brown Blue Green Hazel Since only 50% of the genes determining eye color come from the mother, the father’s eye color should also be noted. Again, the baby’s eye color could be different from either or both parents, but knowing the parents’ eye colors gives you a starting point. Label the dad’s eye color as brown, blue, green or hazel. This is most helpful when the two grandparents from either side have different colored eyes. By comparing their eye colors, you can learn more about the genes that their children (including one of the baby’s parents) carry. Parents’ siblings can also shed light on the variety of genes in the family. When siblings have different eye colors, it can indicate that the parents carry two different genes for eye color (heterozygous) instead of two copies of the same gene (homozygous). This information can help determine whether the baby’s parents are heterozygous or homozygous, and increase the accuracy of your prediction.

TL;DR in English: Observe the color of the mother’s eyes. Factor in the father’s eye color. Know the eye colors of all 4 grandparents. Look at the eye color of both parents’ siblings.

If your beef is too lean, it won't cook up well as a burger. Avoid anything that's 90% or above, for instance. If you want to go a little leaner, 85/15 will work, but 80/20 is a better option. Try buying beef that's freshly ground at the butcher counter for the best quality. If you can, use a kitchen scale to quickly measure them out. Otherwise, estimate the patty size based on the amount of meat you have. For instance, if you have 1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) of meat, you can make about 4 portions. Cover the patties up, and let them chill. Chilling the patties helps them stay together better when you cook them, and the center won't cook as quickly. Don't leave the patties out at room temperature, as that can encourage bacteria to grow.

TL;DR in English: Buy good beef with a meat to fat ratio of 80/20. Make patties that are about 6 ounces (1.7 hg) apiece. Put the patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

First impressions make a difference. Good hygiene shows that you take care of yourself. Take a shower every morning. Wash your hair, put on deodorant, and possibly use a small amount of cologne or perfume. Bad odors, among other problems, are distracting and cause people to not want to be around you. When you use cologne or perfume, add only a small amount to your neck, chest, and shoulders. She should be able to smell it up close without it overwhelming her senses. Clothes and hairstyle are also factors in how people judge you. If your hair is long and greasy and you wear stained sweatpants, chances are the girl will think of you in a negative way, making her feel uncomfortable. Buy yourself clothes that flatter your figure. A style that looks unique on you without being too flashy will help her appreciate you. If you don’t feel comfortable, chances are she won’t feel comfortable either. Anytime you seek her out, display your best self. This means going up to her, maintaining eye contact, and speaking loudly and clearly. To do this, practice being natural. Look into a mirror as you speak, maintaining eye contact with yourself.  Even if you feel nervous around her, slow down. Breathe deeply, speak slowly, relax, and focus on her. Be your natural self.  If you’re going to be at the same place a girl is, such as school or a party, try getting to the place early. This gives you time to get accustomed to the environment before it becomes more crowded and busy. Avoid any bad habits that would make her uncomfortable, such as swearing, telling inappropriate jokes, or fidgeting. Start with small questions, such as “That’s a nice tattoo, what does it mean?” Avoid asking deep questions, as these are too personal too soon. Instead, let her answer and then add to the conversation, such as by talking about something a little personal such as your own tattoos. Everyone has boundaries about how physically close someone cannot be. Moving into this space too fast and being unwelcome is a sure way to make a girl feel...

Always check to be sure that the weapon is unloaded and that the safety is on. Keep your gun pointed toward the ground when you are not firing. You should also get in the habit of wearing earplugs and safety glasses when shooting. As you step up to the shooting block, breathe air deeply into your lungs and let it out in a smooth exhale. Repeat this a few more times until you feel any nervousness dissipate. You can do this every time before you call for the clays to be released. One leg should be placed a bit in front the other and slightly bent. Keep your rear leg as straight as possible. Bend a little at your waist, but not enough to be hunched over. You should feel as if you are angled just a tad bit forward, as if you are leaning into the shot. Maintaining this position for every shot will make it easier to manage your gun’s recoil. It will also let you stay flexible enough to track the clay bird in the sky. Since the clay bird will be moving across the sky, you’ll need to track it with both of your eyes. If you close one of your eyes, you’ll eventually lose sight of the target and miss your shot. However, be aware that one of your eyes will be more dominant than the other. This means that you may need to slightly squint the less dominant eye if you are consistently missing shots. Slowly and smoothly place the butt of the stock against your shoulder until it feels secure, but not painful. The more contact the butt of the stock has with your shoulder, the less you’ll feel the recoil. Use your hands to hold the gun firmly and adjust your shooting elbow until it is horizontal with the ground. Your cheek should rest solidly against the comb (top of the stock) of your gun. This will also help to minimize the recoil. If this is uncomfortable, try securing a towel or other padding to the comb. ” When you are comfortably in position, loudly and clearly call out “pull.” This will result in the release of a clay bird from the trap house located in the center of the target field. When the clay bird is released, move...

TL;DR in English: Follow basic safety practices. Take a deep, calming breath. Position yourself in a boxer’s stance. Use both eyes to track the bird. Hold your gun in position against your shoulder. Call out “pull. Track the target with your gun’s muzzle. Shoot ahead of the target.

When someone else takes the picture, you are more free to pose exactly the way you would like. Another set of eyes can also make sure the photo is staged well, and can offer feedback. A profile picture should focus on your face, but it can include more of your body if done correctly. For a simple, confident pose, stand with one hand positioned on a hip. Angle your elbow slightly backwards. If you do include more of your body in the picture, make sure that your face is still the focus, and that your features can be easily seen. Good posture is important, but standing perfectly straight can make you seem stiff and unnatural in a picture. Try tilting your body slightly to the side, and leaning your head slightly forward. This will make your body look more relaxed and proportional. Professional photographers talk about the “Rule of Thirds.” Imagine drawing two vertical lines that would divide the picture into three equal parts. Keep most of yourself on one of those lines, rather than directly in the middle of the picture.

TL;DR in English: Have someone else take the picture of you, if possible. Try taking a head and shoulders or head and torso shot. Angle your body. Position yourself slightly to one side or the other.

Aloe vera is a versatile remedy that helps reduce both the swelling and the burning sensation resulting from a swollen lip.  After the cold compress therapy (see the step above), apply aloe vera gel over the fat lip. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day. Black tea contains compounds (tannins) that help reduce swelling in the lip.  Prepare black tea and cool it. Dip in cotton ball and place over the fat lip for 10 to 15 minutes. You can repeat the treatment a few times a day for quick results. Honey acts as a natural healer as well as an antibacterial and can be used to treat a swollen lip in addition to many other remedies.  Apply honey over the fat lip and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off and repeat a few times a day as needed. Turmeric powder works as an antiseptic and has healing properties. You can easily make a paste with this powder and apply over the lip.  Mix turmeric powder with fuller’s earth and water and make a paste. Apply over the fat lip and let it dry. Wash off with water and repeat as needed. Baking soda can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with the fat lip and can also help reduce  swelling.  Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply over the fat lip for a few minutes, then wash off. Repeat as needed until the swelling is gone. Salt water can be used to reduce swelling and, if the fat lip was associated with a cut, to kill bacteria that might otherwise cause an infection.  Dissolve salt in warm water. Soak a cotton ball or a towel in the salt water and place over the fat lip. If there is a cut, there may be a burning sensation but this should go away after a few seconds. Repeat once or twice a day as needed. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is used as an antibiotic to fight bacterial infection. Always dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.  Dilute tea tree oil with another oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Apply over the fat lip for about 30 minutes, then rinse it off. Repeat as...

This stretch is very useful at loosening up your groin and inner thigh muscles, which are crucial to executing a Chinese split.  Sit on the floor with your back straight.  Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together in front of you.  Slowly pull your heels in towards your groin. Try to get your heels as close to you as you comfortably can, and keep your hands gripping your ankles.  Gently flex your knees down until they are touching the floor, or as close to the floor as you can comfortably get them. You can use your elbows to push your knees downward.  While exhaling, bend forward at the waist, and try to get your chest as close to the floor as possible. Hold the position for 20 seconds, then release it. This yoga position will help you stretch and loosen the muscles in your groin, calves, and quads, all major muscle groups needed to do a Chinese split.  Begin by lying flat on your back. As you exhale, pull your knees up towards your stomach.  While holding the outsides of each foot in your hands, open your knees just past the width of your abdomen, and pull your knees towards your armpits.  Try to keep your shins perpendicular to the floor. Hold the position for as long as you comfortably can (around 10 to 30 seconds should be sufficient), then release the pose. This yoga pose might be one of the best stretches to prepare your body for doing Chinese splits. Take it slow, though, as this position may be strenuous for first-time practitioners.  Begin by entering a staff pose. Sit on the floor with your back straight and your legs fully extended in front of you, with the insides of your feet touching.  Spread both legs outward. Try to form both legs into 90 degree angles with your hips. Slide your bottom slightly forward while keeping your legs spread to help push your legs as wide as you can comfortably spread them.  While keeping your knee caps pointed upward, stretch your hands forward between your legs as far as you can go without bending at the waist.  Hold the pose for around one minute, or...

Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down on a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can tackle the others later. Your list may include things like: “Go skydiving, read Moby Dick, write a short story, go on a blind date.” Come up with a reason (or a few) that you want to tackle this obstacle. Ask yourself what you're going to get out this new experience. Once you have your answer, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it with you. This can be a little phrase you repeat to yourself every time you're thinking about backing down. If you're going on a blind date, for example, you might tell yourself: “I've gone on lots of dates I set up myself, and I haven't met someone I can picture myself with long term. This could be my chance!” Doing something new on your own can make it even more challenging. There's no reason you can't rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who's naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. Your partner-in-crime should be aware of what you are doing and want to go along with it, too. You might be shying away from trying this new activity because you feel like you're facing a big question mark. To answer all your lingering questions, go online and read about it. Look for reputable information that can help you feel more knowledgeable and prepared.  Try for .gov, .org, or .edu websites when you can. Otherwise, be sure to avoid sites with misspellings or formatting problems. The internet can sometimes be overwhelming. While it's a great idea to be more informed, don't dig so deep that you start scaring yourself with scenarios that are unlikely to happen to you. For example, perhaps you're thinking about moving to a New York City for a promotion, but you've never lived in a city before. Read everything you can about New York to learn how to live there safely and happily. You can find the best neighborhoods for your personality and needs, and get excited about all...

Choose a bowl that is a little bit larger than you think it needs to be. This will make mixing the pasta and sauce a lot easier. It will help prevent any bits of pasta from escaping. You will be adding the rest of the sauce later. It is easier to mix in small amounts of sauce at a time. Use a large spoon or spatula. Try to use a rolling motion, where you bring the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. Use that same rolling motion as before, where you scooped the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. At this point, you can add in some extras to give your pasta some extra flavor. What ever you choose to add in should already be cooked and cut into small, bite-sized pieces (or smaller). Here are some ideas for popular add-ins:  Bacon or ham Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms and onions Peas and carrots Peppers This sort of dish is best served warm. The longer it sits, the more greasy and oily it will become.
